It's NaNoWriMo eve and I'm busy preparing for the maelstrom to come, so here is a favorite post from last year that will hopefully prove useful to you as we stand on the brink of November...

October is the calm before the NaNoWriMo storm. Having lived in Houston all of my life, I'm no stranger to battening down the hatches. Like clock work, we get together bottled water, canned goods, and other non perishables as each new hurricane season approaches. We go through a laundry list to make sure that if all of a sudden a depression pops up in the gulf, so we won't be up the creek when the masses make a run for the grocery.

In this same fashion, I created a NaNoWriMo survival kit in preparation for a month of writing with literary abandon. Putting everything together before the tempest strikes will save me from wasting time on midnight runs for NaNo necessities. The kit includes (see pic above):

My writing totem - the goat the sings "High On a Hill Was a Lonely Goat Herd" from the sound of music

My computer - obvious I know. However, I have heard tales of people doing NaNoWriMo by hand.

Coffee - preferably with chicory

Tea - of the English afternoon persuasion

Betty Boop mug - Betty in the painting of the birth of Aphrodite...it's deliciously tacky with a hint of inappropriateness.

Definitely believe that which you stated. Your favorite reason seemed to be on the internet the simplest thing to be aware of.I say to you, I certainly get irked while people think about worries that they plainly don't know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and defined out the whole thing without having side effect , people could take a signal. Will probably be back to get more.

Hello!

Thanks for stopping in to take a look at my blog! I'm an engineer in Houston, TX that fell into a writing hobby after doing my first National Novel Writing Month in '08 (www.nanowrimo.org). Here you will find the chronicles of my journey to (hopefully one day) have my work published, complete with the trials, tribulations and shenanigans along the way.

Just like any blogger, I love comments. So if you like something you read, please leave me a note. It's always good to know that these posts aren't adrift at sea.
